Steering Binding Turning Left

Hey All I'm A newbie To The Ford Super Duty, My Other Truck is A Tundra, anyways I Bought a 2004 F250 Crew Cab LB 4x4 with the 5.4 Motor and when I turn left it has some Tight Spots and I can't figure out why, I checked the Drive axles to make sure the locking hubs were unlocked and they spun freely, I Also have a lot of play in the steering wheel, Could this all be Related to the Steering Box ? what else should I check for ? Thanks Everyone

It could be the steering box, but before you go to that, check all the steering linkage, bearing and ball joints.
